Very Large Array

Product Overview

The sound of a real radio telescope at work!

All the samples in this Kontakt instrument are from my own unique field-recordings of the noise made as the Very Large Array radio telescopes track a distant quasar across the sky. Jodie Foster has nothing on this: it is way beyond atmospheric!

Use whenever you wish to invoke the sounds of spiral density waves sloshing around in the interstellar medium, triggering another wave of star formation. Its a spooky, atmospheric, almost pitched sort of sound, with a trailing creaky echo (listen to the soundcloud demo).

As ever, the Kontakt instrument has a few dedicated controls which change the volume of the creaky tail, bring in a subtle sine-wave and adjust the amount of reverb.
